If you're using your own boxes, and get into very large sizes, then you'll need to measure to see if there's a oversize package surcharge.

Well, not necessarily "very large sizes." Anything over 1 cubic foot going to zones 5-8 now will go via the dimensional weight, which can be substantially more with pretty much medium-sized boxes. But if the height x width x length = 1728 inches or greater, than you need to divide the number by 194 to find out the DIM weight. Then, you use the greater of either the actual weight or Dim weight to calculate the cost (again, this is only for zones 5-8).

And as mentioned, no USPS branded boxes are subject to Dim weight.
